Capo on 2
G
Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me
C G
Down along the Dixie line
G
Banjoes are strummin’, horseflies are hummin’
A7 C
Ripe melons on the vine
Em G C A7
The gold and the gray weeds sing look away
G D G
Way down along the Dixie line
I spent my childhood walking the wildwood
Down along the Dixie line
Freight trains are squallin’, eyeballs are ballin’
Four engines at a time
I was so happy with Momma and Pappy
Down along the Dixie line
G C
Can't you hear those drivers wail
G D
Can't you see those bright rails shine
G C
Gonna catch that fireball man
G D G
Leave the northland far behind
Solo over verse chords
A river of whiskey flows down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line
They pulled up the tracks now, I can't go back now
Can't hardly keep from crying
Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line
G C
Can't you hear those drivers wail
G D
Can't you see those bright rails shine
G C
Wanna catch that fireball man
G D G
Leave the northland far behind...
C A7 G D G
...Down along the Dixie line
